Monkey Business

I liked this video i saw on vimeo - showing the movements of a monkey in cut out animation.


Alternative Animation Cut-out from Håvard Forland Isaksen on Vimeo.


Below is a YouTube video from Nightmare Before Christmas - one of my favourites!! I love pretty much ALL of Tim Burton's films. I remember going to see this film with my mam and brother when it first came out and remember thinking, how good would it be to be able to create something like this!



The below video is also from YouTube and is by Terry Gilliam (better known from The Monty Python). He has been using the cut out style for decades and is a great example to use to help with my progression of my cut out project. It is hard choosing just one of his pieces of work as all of them are unique and funny.





For this one i have just had to add a link as it wouldnt let me copy the embedded code.
This link is for a Linken Park video - This video is one of the inspirations that pushed me to go into this field. After watching this i wanted to be able to create an animated music video.

I found this video on YouTube for 2.5D animation.
I thought this was pretty amazing how you can take a 2D image and make it look so realistic!! This video will help me i think to show what a 2.5d animation can look like.



This video below (also from YouTube!) has made me think of how i want to do my animation. I like the idea of painting the characters instead of colouring them on photoshop. In this video they used After Effects with watercolour paintings.



Lotte Reiniger is also an influence in cut out animation with The Adventures of Prince Achmed.



Another example of cut out animation which was on Vimeo - i thought it was a great video
